To paint white lies on a white fence — to call it kindness, in your defence. To block out the ugly truths from reaching your close friends — but those blind lies keep them fenced. A combat sport with them — _fencing,_ no mask, no stance, no discipline. And me? I can’t claim innocence; truth slips from me like an offence — too sharp, too blunt, depending when. Of the sense you say you have, it measures less the less you choose to correct your friends. To paint white lies on a white fence, all in hopes to block offence — it’s art, you say — but art that hides is just pretense. Every brushstroke builds a wall instead, till your kindness feels like self-defence; painted white again and again. A play of “offence.”

A Play of Offence
A god dies when no one believes. When the altars grow cold and the names turn to dust. But I’m still here. No hymn. No temple. No worshipper’s need. I walk the ruins of every faith I outlived and light my own flame in the silence they left. Let them call it heresy. Let them call it madness. The echo still answers to the name I chose. A god dies when forgotten— but I remember myself. —Vazago d'Vile

Still Here
I’ve followed every voice that dared to ask why. From Socrates, who stripped truth naked with questions, to the devil himself, who asked them where angels wouldn’t. Wisdom isn’t holy. It’s hungry. It walks through temples and taverns, burns its fingers on forbidden light, and still reaches back for more. If the price of knowing is to fall from grace, then let me fall with my eyes open. Because every spark of truth I’ve stolen from the dark still burns like a star in my chest. —Vazago d’Vile

From Sócrates to the devil
They took the rebel, with dirt on his feet and fire in his voice, and dressed him in silk, floating like some sainted mannequin in Saint-Tropez. He flipped tables — now they kneel at golden ones. He fed the poor — now they feed on gold-plated prayers. He walked with ****** and thieves — now they polish marble for the pious. He healed on the Sabbath just to make a point. Told the rich, “Give it all away.” He spat truth like lightning and stood firm in storms. But they couldn’t control that man. So they made him God. Not to lift him — but to bury him in worship. Because if he’s God, you don’t have to follow — just bow. They crowned him to silence him. Sanitized the sweat, bleached the blood, branded the rebel as royalty. But I remember the man — not the myth. I see the dust, the rage, the truth that burned in his chest. And I say: bring back the fire. Let him walk barefoot into temples again.

Saint-Tropez Jesus
God's call To implement love In a loveless world . Be strong dear For your enemies are menacing But they hold no power over you As long as you remain Connected to the Vine . Wash your hands clean, Valiant one Chosen one Truth seeker and Truth finder You have come upon the spring of Life, Let it cleanse you of your double-mindedness, Of your sin . Step into the light, Noble one My brave dear For all to be revealed Your secrets of shame Are deemed powerless Your shackles have alchemized Into sparkling dust . You are free . Now Step forth on this journey.

LOVE IN ACTION
Oceans of thought provoking reads sends his mind sailing as he drifts off and dreams. Words come to life, creating abstract scenes, activating DNA. Dimensions stretch, never again be(lie)ving in the same things. Rose colored glasses cracked, hit by the truth, leaving such a painful sting. When it all subsides, night vision eyes will be what will assist him in his dreams. It's the desire to seek out these mysteries that keeps him intrigued by intricate things.

The Seeker
Allegories of euphoria drip from pen, triggering deja vu. Spiraling down holes where white rabbits go with a clock around my neck; don't wanna be to late to open up and look through a different point of view. Spitting out bones as I chew; infinite elasticity makes room for truth when the fear of searching has faded. Becoming aware of the bluescreen and the avatar of which I exist in, I'm breaking through the cages. There's so many checkered floors and doors that lead to more doors. Huge ones you can walk on through and small ones only built for the willing to crawl. What's a life lived without seeking for truth and knowledge? What's life like beyond Truman's wall.

(TRU)man's Wall
And still you're more concerned  with who's in front of the curtain than who's behind it. The puppets are being controlled by the puppeteers. The strings are there, even though they're thin and clear; if you're searching for truth you'll find it.

The puppeteers
When you're ready to receive it you won't ever have to believe. Once you're hit with the vibrations, you'll come to know it instantly. Wavelengths hitting more and more as you head for the top floor; out of your windows it gets clearer, lots more to see, lots more to explore. Mind be the key desiring to seek what's behind these locked doors.
